Up the creek today
 
Well I spent the day fish up the creek with Grandson and doing some boat
riding with "our" 1965 12' Sea King & 7.5 Eska, caught a few crappie on
spinner bait??, and a few catfish on treble hooks and stinky stuff...forgot
to take the camera but We did have a good time and I only burnt 3 qts of gas
all day. One thing about a 12'er there hard really hard to **** from!.

heres a pic just after I finished the trailer.

Great shots. The transom job looks nice, and the first mate looks like he knows
what he's up to!

I you trailer far, I would change the tire/wheel combo to at least 12".
The fenders are usually adjustable for a good fit. Those little tires
are spinning at 50,000 rpms at highway speed!

It's 3 miles to the creek and lake, 26 round trip to the river, 45-50mph, I
always add grease & do the shake test and check them for heat at the stops,
But I do think this winter I'm going through all wheel bearings on all
trailers. that's always good advice... Thanks and if I move to Florida I
would buy some 12" combos for the long trip...someday I will be there. What
I need is a bumper hitch for a 540i I to pull my tri hull...is that red
necking or what?

The cops talk about the 'open fly syndrom'.
lots of fishermen found drowned with their fly open.
I carry a bottle or old ice cream bucket for that reason... and the Yukon is
quite stable.

I've got three bathrooms aboard my 36' Zimmerman like lobsta' boat. One
for me, one for my lovely young southern belle Dr. Dr. Dr. wife, and the
other for the various dignitaries I have aboard for parties.

A bumper hitch would be redneck. Get a real hitch!

Know a good southern exterminator?
